I have done my best to make this accessible to people who do not yet have even a basic familiarity with these concepts, in order to provide them with a “way into” what is alluded to in the main part of the title, while for those already familiar with and partisan to this, the aim is to deepen the grasp of this and the ability to work with and wield this in contributing to the revolution, and the ultimate goal of communism, which this theory points to as possible, necessary, and urgently required for a profound leap in human emancipation. This is, in one important dimension, an elaboration on The New Synthesis of Communism: Fundamental Orientation, Method and Approach, and Core Elements—An Outline.1 At the same time, as indicated in the title, it is a “basic summary,” because, even as a comprehensive exposition of much of what is addressed here is contained in the book THE NEW COMMUNISM 2—and important elements of this are included in the selections in BAsics,3 which can, in important ways, serve as a handbook for revolution—there is also a need for a distilled discussion of the theory, strategic orientation and objectives of the communist movement as this was developed from the time of Marx and with its further development and synthesis with the new communism. It is also a “basic summary,” rather than an attempt at a complete and final summary, because the development of the new communism is a work in progress, an important part of which is continuing to learn from and further synthesize what has come before, in the first great wave of communist revolution, beginning with the historic breakthrough by Marx.

How to ripen these rare times and circumstances into a real chance to make revolution? Host Andy Zee takes us deep into the Revcoms' recently issued “Declaration, A Call to Get Organized Now for a Real Revolution,” for answers. Bob Avakian leads us to, “Imagine a New Society,” in an excerpt from his historic 2003 speech, Revolution: Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible, What It's All About. The story of the Revcoms stepping out and the people beginning to step in on Revolutionary Internationalist May Day 2021 is told through vivid footage of events nationwide.
